USPS FY 2011 Executive Officer Compensation

“Executive success is defined by a number of factors, including financial returns, the quality of service the Postal Service provides, the results achieved by the executive’s actions to enhance the organization’s efficiency and overcome challenges and whether an executive met established individual goals. For these reasons, lump sum incentives may be appropriate even in years in which the Postal Service sustains financial losses. This is especially true where the Postal Service maintained service levels while significantly reducing costs.”

Can’t come up with round-trip tix to Wash DC? You can Occupy APWU HQ easily by filling out your PS 1188 today! Do it before the next round of dues increases and assessments coming round the bend brought to you by your union!

It is quite the can of worms. Given the mass exodus for competitor mailing concerns, maybe the post office has been used as a parasitic host. They place the virus of privatization in 2001, they negotiate a new Contract in 2006 – and they make sure the 5.5 Billion dollar debacle will topple the USPS in time. Meanwhile they’re positioning their new companies, readying for the privatization of the Postal Service.

why dont the sacrifices start at the top.. first.. cut excecutives to one third of the total now.. then cut their salary to 12 bucks an hour.. like the new hirees are gonna get.. ( they expect those people to survive on it..why cant they??)..

After seeing this and thinking about the fact that the PMG just froze the lesser bosses wages, bonuses, and pay increases, I’m wondering when the pussies at NAPS are going to strap on a pair and tell these money grubbing ass wipes where to get off? I can’t believe the balls of the PMG to tell the lesser bosses to go without for the good of the service and then takes home a bonus and other incentives. I’m laughing my ass off over this! What balls! This is what happens when you take a window clerk and make him the CEO! Absolutely hillarious

Gambino, I partially agree with some of the things you say, but if you think I am going to feel sorry for Donahoe, or any of the good ‘ol boys and their tokens up at the top, you are extremely confused. First of all, I don’t care how much people in the private sector get paid, because the Postal upper echelons of the USPS are working for a government agency and since when was that suppose to be such lucrative a career? Apparently it has become so. I guess it’s not enough to just have to grand title, we have to pay the guy grand amounts of money, too, eh? The people in Washington D.C. have become a bunch of little kingdoms for so many of them! Do I think the PMG is overpaid? Duh, yes! Up until just a few years ago, the President of the United States only made $200,000. And the loss of first-class mail is not something that happened overnight. For years the Postal Service management has refused to think ahead enough to notice the change from letters to parcels. I mentioned it many times and was told I didn’t know what I was talking about. Now, all of a sudden, they acknowledge that package services are the fastest growing portion of the business – they have known for years that the letter volumes were going down. The problem is, they didn’t act on these things until it was too late. They were getting paid to run the USPS, and all they have done is run it into the ground. Then they want to blame the unions and the craft. Everyone has had they’re hand in the demise of the USPS, but management was being paid to run it in a prudent manner, and that was not done. These people should not be rewarded for a lack of performance, just like they say of all those in the craft, eh?

I have been bringing this up on the web for a few months now. Thank God someone has finally caught on and realized the absurdity of it all! Paying these people exhorbitant amounts of money – for what – for FAILURE!? Then everybody wants the actual “working Joe/Joann” to take the bite so the big guys at the top can fill their pockets, (just like the Wall Street bankers and failing auto corporations did.) Instead of making prudent, fiscally responsible (their favorite buzz word right now) decisions about running the postal service, these people were living it up at posh gatherings, and filling their pockets while they were/are purposefully making decisions that were/are costing the USPS more and more money! (Such as totally unnecessary labor issues that are instigated by management itself.) These people are drunk on their own power and the misuse of it. They have no time to actually run the USPS like they are paid to do! And these people are the “special ones,” who don’t have to actually work, but decide the fate of hundreds of thousands of people who do actually have to do the work to make the money for the USPS. The folly of it all is mind-blowing!

DONAHOE AND HIS TOP CRONIES HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING FIRST-CLASS MAIL TO DECLINE FASTER THAN LAST YEAR!!! THEIR POLICIES OF REDUCING WINDOW HOURS, CUTTING WINDOW HOURS, SHUTTING POST OFFICES, HAS SUCCESSFULLY CAUSED FIRST-CLASS MAIL TO DECLINE AT A GREATER RATE THAN IF THE POST OFFICE WAS RUN BY 10 YEAR OLD CHILDREN. DONAHOE NEEDED THIS DECLINE AND THE RESULTING DOLLAR LOSS IN AN ATTEMP TO PUSH THROUGH HIS TRANSFORMATION PLAN. WHICH, BY THE WAY, WILL CUT SERVICE TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA, THEIR WILL BE NO MORE OVERNIGHT DELIVERY OF FIRST-CLASS MAIL ANYWHERE IF DONAHOE GETS HIS WAY. THE MAIL WILL BE TRUCKED AND SIT SOMEWHERE UNTIL POSTAL MANAGEMENT GETS AROUND TO RUNNING IT AND THEN TRUCKED BACK FOR DELIVERY. DON’T YOU GUYS SEE THE NEED TO REWARD THESE “POSTAL GENIUSES” FOR THEIR “AMAZING” EFFORT??????

Scott Davis UPS CEO salary 1.12 million, Fred Smith CEO FED X 2.2 million. Corporate CEO are responsible to directors and shareholders, owners of the company, and must excute revenue generation to creat earnings to increase share appreciation for shareholders.
PMG works for semi-quasi government service with a goal to breakeven which is an impossible task as the demand for USPS products and services has declined and the future is bleak. The USPS and universal constitutional mail service is history. The USPS was a needed service for physical delivery to a street address in the 20th century. The advancements in communication technology in the 21st century has made the USPS obsolete as written First class mail delivery to a physical address is an outdated mode as electronic mail is instant and does not require a fee(postage stamp) for a 1-2 day delivery time, Electronic communication means are continually increasing as new APPS are increasing. The INTERNET,I PODS, TABLETS, SMART PHONES-TEXTING, KINDLES and other means are resulting in businesses rewarding customers to go PAPERLESS. Treasury checks,pensions and monatary process is being transacted on line such as direct deposit.
Revenue is decreasing:debt is increasing as services exceed revenue intake.
Cost effective operations must be exercised. Closing offices that due to changing demographics are no longer needed to provide postal service. Management levels must be reduced from headquarters, areas, districts,postmasters to local officies.
Amajor cost reduction would be to eliminate Sat. street delivery to deliver bulk business advertising mail on Sat. which is not time sensitive. Eliminating Sat. street delivery would save petroleumn cost for 200,000+ vehicles and delivery personnel.USPS should concentrate on core products of advertising mail and parcel delivery 5 days a week to meet objective of breakeven point and eliminate loosing billions of dollars as presently the results. Must also have a reduction in employees to maximize automation and reduce manhour cost.
PMG has difficult job in dealing with politicans, craft and management unions in attempting to operate at a breakeven point. Congress and PRC should have economic understanding of actions needed and quit playing politics to appease various groups who have only selfish agendas.

Other factors to take into consideration is the falsifying of work hours, piece counts and the deleting of run files on various machines. Don’t forget the PETE and End to End Scores are not based on when it actually gets delivered to the actual address but on when the piece of mail gets to the next facility. The USPS uses fuzzy math to figure things out so it’s a wonder if anyone should believe anything Dono-WHO says. Fat Jack Potter made his “exit stage left” with his pockets full. How much of the $11 Billion (FERS over payment) do you really think the workers will get? Dono-WHO is salivating as we speak.

Postal executives should recieve no bonus at all. They set their own bonus agenda and thresholds, and then manipulate the budget and processing of mail to achieve it. They also violate labor contracts to reduce operating expenses so as to put large million dollar grievance settlements into a different fiscal year. A independent third party should set bonus criteria, and then audit results. Any manager caught cheating or violating the elm or labor contract should be terminated.
